About

My name is Dan Govea. I'm a senior designer and front-end developer employed at Digital Cheetah Solutions in the great oasis that is Austin, Texas.

More than that, I am the father of two children: a seven year old girl and a six year old boy and the husband of one woman. I am an avid learner and a little bit of a cartoon afficionado. I am also a huge fan of the San Antonio Spurs and a lover of music of all kinds.

Also I used to go by the name of PixelRabbit...

Work Consistenly

I have been working at Digital Cheetah Solutions, Inc. for over six years now. I started as a contractor working purely in table based front-end designs that were then instituded by a Digital Cheetah developer. Eventually I decided to work full time in the office in order to best manage the transition from design to production.

Fast forward, six years later. I am Senior Designer and Senior Front-end Developer and have had the pleasure of working a number of projects for big time clients. For example:

Created the framework and code guidelines for the volunteer interface for the American Red Cross
